Disney Pankcakes
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when a pandemic closes Disney, and everything else, make Mickey pancakes. :)
One way for me to deal with the anxieties of the unknown that we are all facing right now, is to plan something. ANYTHING. It gives me a place to focus my energy. Since planning the coming days is for myself and my son Brody, he gets a vote in what we do…..except for the closet clean out day I have planned. He won’t like it, but it’s going down.
He loves our time at Disney as much as I do so it was no surprise when he asked if we could pull out the Mickey pancake maker. However, instead of just mixing up the Bisquick, I took it a step further and found a Disney pancake recipe. These are the Top of the World Pancakes from Disney’s Contemporary Resort from Mickey’s Gourmet Cookbook. These are delicious!
Ingredients:
1 egg
4 tbsp oil
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup water
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk pancake mix
4 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
In a medium size bowl, combine the egg, vanilla, milk, oil and water. Whisk them together well.
In another medium bowl, sift together the pancake mix, sugar and baking powder.
Confession: I did not sift and I cut the sugar amount in half. :)
Add the pancake mixture to the egg mixture, whisking the entire time. Whisk it and whisk it good!
Grease your pan or griddle and start cooking!
This makes a thick batter, I added a little water to it to thin it out.
After pancakes, we hopped online to catch a Disney artist give a class on how to draw Baby Yoda. Followed by watching the Cincinnati Zoo’s broadcast of the hippos. Today was a good day. Now to figure out what we will do tomorrow. What is everyone else doing? Let me know!
UPDATE: Disney parks have re-opened! If you are ready to go have true Disney Mickey waffles, let my friends at About the Memories Travel help you get there.
Because Pip can’t be left out of anything, she was watching the art class with us. :)
